Monday evening at the Eden Gardens saw Australian legend Ricky Ponting, renowned for his picture-perfect pull shots, share his expertise with young KKR batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
Following the IPL match between the Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, Ponting took the time to explain the finer points of executing a successful pull shot. A video of this heartwarming interaction has been making the rounds on social media. Watch the video below:
Eighteen-year-old Raghuvanshi, who made his IPL debut this season, has already impressed with his batting. He has scored 118 runs in eight matches, including a well-played half-century, with a commendable strike rate of 161.64.
Raghuvanshi’s talent was evident as he emerged as the leading run-scorer for India in the victorious 2022 ICC U-19 World Cup. He amassed 278 runs across six innings, averaging 46.33.
Though Raghuvanshi did not get a chance with the bat yesterday, KKR dominated the Delhi Capitals, securing a comfortable seven-wicket victory.

The win was powered by a stellar bowling performance. Varun Chakaravarthy, named Player of the Match, ripped through the DC batting line-up with a sensational spell of 3-16. Fiery bowling from Harshit Rana and others restricted the Delhi Capitals to a modest total of 153 runs.
KKR’s Phil Salt came up with a strong opening score, and skipper Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer followed through to seal the victory for the team. With the recent win, KKR retains their second spot on the IPL points table only after the Rajasthan Royals. They will be next facing the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede on May 3rd.
